I have a new MS4W server running with IIS, using the newest MS4W on Windows
2003 server. It works fine if I look at it in QGIS. If I consume it
in ArcMap (I tried v 9.0 and 9.3) there is no output image, just white.
My layers turn on/off at appropriate scales, but nothing is there. The
WMS is just 3 levels of orthoimagery for part of Maine.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

have a prototype box (which is internal to our WAN and so readers you won't be

Apache (the one distributed with MS4W) on Windows XP, and the service works
fine in ArcGIS 9.0 and 9.3.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
